I just started keto this week and would love any good food suggestions or tried and true recipes.
Nothing sucks more than cooking a meal with pricy ingredients to not even like it. ...

I suggest joining The Low Carber Daily Forum group. There is one thread called "show me your low carb meal" It's about 80 pages of low carb dishes and desserts. Lots of pictures and recipes.
My favorite recipes so far are beef peanut pad Thai using shirataki noodles. I make a fat head pizza that is better than regular pizza crust!!
I have written tips on eating keto on a budget in groups too.. Several threads on that topic.1 -
You can't go wrong with meat and vegetables - the combinations are almost limitless. And vegetables are great substitutes for higher carb starches and grains and can carry any of your favorite flavors.
Broccoli goes well with cheese sauces, cabbage works well with tomato sauces and cauliflower is pretty neutral. Green beans roasted with butter and garlic until they're almost crispy are nice -- they taste like garlic bread and remind me of french fries too.
Pickles, tomatoes, onions and lettuce chopped up like a salad is great with hamburger or cheeseburger patties. Roasted chicken thighs and sugar snap peas were a favorite for a long time.
Roasting meats when you have a chance (like a pot roast, ham or whole chicken) is really easy and makes for quick snacks, lunches and dinners in a pinch during the week. Sour cream and onion dip with cut up vegetables or a bowl of strawberries are both nice.
You don't have to buy anything special or make keto recipes if you don't want to and tbh most people I know who stick with low carb don't bother with any of that stuff. Here's a huge photo gallery of sample meals for inspiration: https://www.burnfatnotsugar.com/SampleMeals.html2 -
Welcome to the MFP Community.
Here's a link to our largest low-carb group. Not everyone there does keto, but many do, and as Emma said above there are plenty of recipes and pictures of meals:

FlavCity on youtube has good recipes, but if you like certain things, you can google a keto version.
I use a lot of chicken thighs, steaks, hamburger meat and eggs.1 -
